(Ephesians) Morning reflections

Ephesians

4:32-5:21
New International Version
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave
5 you. 1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearl
loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as
Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Morning reflections (cont.)

Thinking of you, plants poetry, bad queen Lola, from

Plot grown from you, duende, Ephesians in my sentences

Cuz sometimes fighting is about you

Cuz sometimes fighting isn’t the right thing to do
There are so many good people out there
If I point my finger, how many point back at me?

Cuz sometimes I fight myself, too

As I relaxed my mid morning self left off anger,

I relaxed into raelene, forgiving, embodied in love again

And to know how good life is, that my single prayer that is you

G, came true, and all the good in the universe you brought with you

The freak hatred fell away, twas clear, without compassion

Without your love and forgiveness, the neonazis remain

For if I talk of love, they talk of love, but both hate,

Pointing fingers at each other, a Mexican standoff

If I cannot love and forgive them, if only in anger I remain,

In my fight for love I become their inflicted torture,

Turn to hatred, they taking on my hate, the two twain

Love and forgiveness built upon self compassion,

Self understanding is we’re all the same
If the neonazis don’t understand themselves, how us?

They’ll go on try destroy true love, the war endless

And my fight for love, turn twisted compassion into us

But no, I’ll never give up, bad queen Lola, at the beginning

I called you duende, and from your love you stem, fully

Formed in my poetry, g, and your love of me, flowering

Into love and compassion for all things in this universe

Duende, who brought Ephesians to me, my bad bad queen
